Great - thanks, Alex. I remember looking for a version 6.2.5 of XenServer about nine months ago (because of that name in CloudStack) and finding out it doesn't actually exist. :) That it is, in fact, 6.2 + a patch or two.
What this mainly interests me for is that I need to perform some activity on 6.1 that I've updated the code for and it looks like I'll need to provide a similar implementation for 6.2.5 so that that same functionality works on that platform (because it seems like we can't rely on those plug-ins as much in 6.2.5). Do you agree? Thanks!
